Lovely comfy cottage with everything you would need for either a short break or a full weeks holiday. Very friendly host with plenty of recommendations' for the area. The village shop is limited and the pubs in the village are now closed.

My wife and I had a lovely stay at Grace cottage. A warm welcome from Steve and Winnie the dog . On entering the cottage a welcome pack was found including a nice bottle of and chocolate which was much appreciated as it was our anniversary. Nothing was too much trouble for Steve and Nicola . Would love to visit again in the future. Thank you
